About us

The Brass Band “Šohaj” was set up in 1989 by former members of the large Jeseník Youth Orchestra who were driven by their desire to play in a music ensemble in which they could fully use their abilities.

During its history the band has gone through several developmental stages. In its early years the band focused only on traditional folk music but later, new members brought about a change in its musical orientation. Currently, the ensemble is made up of both amateur and professional musicians. This fact is reflected in richer instrumentation and in the band’s ability to perform a varied range of music styles. The band has its own unmistakeable sound and its repertoire is wide – Moravian and Bohemian folk music, concert and dance compositions.

The orchestra regularly plays in spa concerts, social events and balls. It has performed successfully in Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Poland. In 1998 it released its first CD called “Dojdi večer” (“Come in the Evening”). The musicians in the Brass Band Šohaj put their hearts and souls into their music and can entertain and satisfy the most demanding of audiences. This is probably the best reward the musicians and singers could wish for.
